Drops out of rotation
Pickett (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Nuggets' 134-127 double-overtime loss to the Knicks.
Analyse
After playing just 10 minutes -- his fewest since the calendar flipped to 2026 -- in Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons, Pickett was dropped from the starting five and moved out of the rotation entirely for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Pickett's absence from the rotation may prove to be short-lived, however. Both Spencer Jones (head) and Peyton Watson (hamstring) exited the game early and didn't return, which could reopen an opportunity for Pickett if neither injured player is able to play in the Nuggets' next game Saturday in Chicago.

Coming off bench Wednesday
Pickett is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analyse
Pickett has started in 17 of the Nuggets' last 19 games, but he has failed to score in three of his last four outings while going 3-for-14 from the field (and 1-for-11 from three-point range) over that span. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's contest while Spencer Jones enters the Nuggets' starting five.

Scoreless in start
Pickett posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons.
Analyse
Pickett remained in the starting lineup, yet he once again failed to make the most of his opportunity. He has now failed to score in three of the past four games, typically playing minutes in the mid-teens. Despite his starting role, Pickett is not someone who needs to be considered outside of the deepest fantasy leagues.

Scoreless in win
Pickett amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 win over the Nets.
Analyse
Pickett continues to start for a shorthanded Denver squad but had another quiet outing. Meanwhile, both Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway had productive games off the bench. Pickett has been ice cold for quite a while and is only worth monitoring in deeper formats for the time being.
